thinking about how people arguing about rory and jess doesn’t have a “you jump, i jump” moment but like. have you ever been 17 and a guy bought your home made basket for $90 and sat with you on a bridge by the lake, look into your eyes and told you “you know, ernest only has lovely things to say about you”? because tbh, it changes everything.

#also also people needs to understand that these 2 ships are so different at their core #logan is being introduced as someone who could be rory’s potential lover one day #we are supposed to like him after s4 with dean #we supposed to be rooting for him and rory and we automatically do that #jess introduced to us as just. jess. luke’s troubled nephew who moved in with him #he has more depth and character development and other interactions outside of rory #while logan doesn’t get that until mid s6 when we see mitchum yelling at him in martha vineyard #the thing about jess VS logan is that jess introduced to us as a character first and a love interest later #logan gets introduced to us as a love interest first and a character with depth later #dean on the other hand is just a love interest with no depth all his existence is revolves around being rory’s boyfriend #and when he isn’t he is completely useless #ANYWAYS #jess x rory #jess mariano #rory gilmore #gilmore girls #or speaks now

Oh wow Henderson/Martha as bad end Twiyor. Henderson so focused on his ideals, on conquering ignorance, that he doesn't look at what's in front of him. "Ignorance is a sin", "they wouldn't do this if they were educated correctly". Those ideas taking precedence over any kind of personal life for both Twilight and Henderson. And so Henderson and Martha miss their chance because Henderson is so caught up in his own cause and Martha doesn't recognise her own feelings for what they are. Just as how Twilight is so focused on his mission that he deliberately tries to clamp down on his own connections with others and sees them as a weakness. As he too could miss his chance and leave one day without warning.

It's not technically the end of either of their stories. But the parallels at present read as very deliberate.

#you need both the wider picture and the personal connections. you cannot have one w/o the other w/o losing something important. #spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #also am very aware that this is probably a multichap arc and so backstory henderson/martha can go a particular way #and have them resolve as friends in the current day. but just speaking of the time when henderson and martha were at school together. #also also. the impending war in the background of this arc makes me feel some kinda way #I think we may see more on that side with martha's pov tho. We have her ballet skills ofc but twilight thought martha was properly trained #and so that'll likely come up next chapter methinks

the thing about post-rose ten is he IS casually cruel. he tells donna to her face that she's not clever, not special, not important - and gets slapped for it, which to my mind is kinda the reason the doctor-donna relationship works. he tells martha's coworker not to waste his time, to stay behind, she'll only hold them up. leaves her crying. and like, devoting his energy to the problem at hand (the hospital is on the moon, there's an alien situation going on, everyone here and possibly everyone on earth is at risk) is the practical move at the time. but there's an obvious casual cruelty to it that he wouldn't have stooped to before.

and I'm just reminded of the way donna forgot all her loudness and bluff and immediately snapped to empathy when there were people hurt. you're a doctor, you can help. I remember her watching in horror as the doctor presided over the execution of children and the destruction of a species - and telling him he can stop now. I remember her saying that yeah, her ex-fiance, the man who poisoned her and used her and secretly looked down on her all this time, he didn't deserve to die like he did, which is a pretty big admission given the freshness of that betrayal. she has a good heart. and I can see why she would be good for this new, cruel, forgotten-his-kindness-in-all-his-pain doctor.

and I'm just so, so sorry that martha had to know this version of him in the meantime.

#doctor who #tenth doctor #falderal speaks #like other people have said it so much better but. martha deserved so much better. in so many ways. #shaking the doctor by the shoulders like YOU COULD HAVE LICKED HER FOREHEAD AND WE WOULD ALL BE FINE #you could have found someone who wasn't PINING for you to help keep you sane #because yeah I think he knew it and ignored it from fairly early on #and yeah he knew he needed Someone and. I'm sure he liked martha but he was happy to use her too. #hi. I wasn't planning to keep having thoughts but it is happening so feel free to filter tags if they bug you #there's like two decades of pent up fandom in me is the thing

they werent lying that martha sure can speak

#turtlearts #martha speaks #dogs #did u know shes supposed to be a labrador mix? cool huh #i am on a nostalgia kick #i was going to draw her with wordgirl (sorry) but i wanted to practice drawing her first #i wont lie im really proud of this she looks like a dog for real im gonna cry #i think im at the age where i miss being really young. i miss watching pbs kids after school and i miss being small #im still fairly young i know that but still. i feel old and i think im going a little nuts #anyways enjoy the doggie. really hope yall like this #i wonder if anyone still remembers her #i loved the books when i was a kid. she made me fascinated with alphabet soup #ah. missing childhood has such mixed feelings

Was reading some of the yj comics and got to the part where Kon revealed he had a wife and she was holding a baby with dark curly hair and when I tell you that I just about lost my mind alongside Bart bc where did this baby come from???

ah yj19... yes that was one hell of a red herring skjdfh but also genuinely if i think too hard about kon, lophi, and babymartha i will lose my mind. lophi felt so strongly about kon that she let him suggest (and ultimately went with) the name of his (grand)mother for her child. her husband was murdered and this other man showed up and said hey i'll look out for you and the baby because it's the right thing to do and she let him pick the name for that child. there was love in this house. there was LOVE in this house BENDIS. YOU CAN'T JUST ABANDON THEM OR ACT LIKE KON WOULD ABANDON THEM AT THE DROP OF A HAT LIKE THIS???? BENDIS WHAT WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE??? BENDIS THERE WAS SO MUCH LOVE IN THIS HOUSE WHAT THE FUCK

#answers #derp-a-la-sheep #like. genuinely? genuinely. i don't think kon ''i wish i had parents'' el would have just walked away from them #even if he was delighted to have been found by bart #like i know its not the story bendis wanted to tell and he was just using them as a red herring #but i think kon would've asked lophi to come with him when he left gemworld. bc she'd be in the same shit boat as a single mom without him #i think ma and pa kent would have loved her and like theyre farmers too and also martha couldve met babymartha #like. prime earth is nothing to me generally speaking but IF i have to think about it LOPHI SHOULD BE THERE

There is something so reassuring when you see that someone made a post or a youtube video about a very niche not at all popular cartoon that for some reason you watched all the time as a kid because your country aired it all the time for some reason and you have so many vivid memories of it and thought everyone else also knows it but you had never seen anyone talk about it ever online. Like, THANK GOD, I didn't just hallucinate or dream this cartoon. That WAS a real show that aired!!! YES, pleaseeee talk about the lore!! And yes, every kids media deserves attention and appreciation, not just *instert whatever cartoon that is popular today*. The weird, obscure or forgotten ones deserve love too. Even if they were bad. Ohhh they definitely were kinda bad sometimes. But also like good, you know?

#this is mostly about negative legend and athena p #love love love their content!!!! #<333 #especially the martha speaks one by athena #yes mia and me is included here as well duh #and posts too #but there are so many good ones #but also i know a few more i wish someone covered #i will be so happy the day someone talks about animalia #like what was that lmao but i loved it #there's the aspect of language like the most popular cartoons out there are primarily english speaking #(anime is a whole another category of course) #but like there is so much out there other than that maaaan #and people make these shows with love and they get forgotten #its sad #cartoon #animation #kids media #childhood nostalgia #mine

Ten makes inside jokes that no one but Rose could have the slightest chance of getting. Amazing. Stellar. 10/10. This was supposed to be funny but now I’m just sad

#also speaking of tenrose ngl I’m a little salty that Martha got to wear his coat but Rose didn’t? like obviously given the circumstances it #was necessary but still #it happened in the one of the novels at least #doctor who #tenrose #val cries over a madman with a blue box #tenth doctor #the poison sky

I’m being plagued by visions (thoughts about Sam and Dean)

#many are of them being far too intimate while training #John going outside to tell them he’s fucking off for a hunt or something #and he just sees them practically mouth to mouth in the dirt #he just goes back inside like. damn. I really fucked those guys up didn’t I. time to go kill a werewolf 2 states away #samdean #wincest #sam speaks #jt’s like Martha Speaks. except I’m only a dog at heart

@alltheladiesyouhate admittedly i haven't rewatched the moffat seasons as much as i have the rtd ones but the biggest difference i think that the rtd companions actually had lives. the opening sequence of the renewed show was rose and her going about her day. we learned more about her in the first 10 minutes of that one episode than we do amy and clara all of their seasons. same with martha in smith and jones. and donna partners in crime. we know these people's families and and interpersonal dynamics and get to know them as people seperate to the doctor. meanwhile moffat era companions are only people in relation to who they are to the doctor. moffat is so obsessed with mysteries and 'don't you want to keep watching to know what this is about' that he neglects to make characters compelling without that information. moffat cannot make a scene like the one in marthas brothers birthday party where the entire family starts arguing moments before martha reunites with the doctor.

#ameera speaks #not speaking at you but i saw your tags and they were genuinely really interesting to me because yeah there is a stark difference between #thise characters. i rarely ever see people give moffat companions the same love they do rtd ones #i cant speak for bill bc i stopped watching by then #but yeah like i said i could be wrong. but like. rose worked retail. martha was studying medicine. donna was a temp. #amy was a kissogram (???????) and clara was a babysitter? or teacher? ik she was a teacher in capaldi era but what was she doing with them #2 kids in their house in that one episode?

I need a more fucked up vocabulary i gotta buy me an evil dictionary i want bitches endlessly confused at my deranged choice of words and formidably adept lexicon

#need to go back to 2 being 9 and watching wordgirl n martha speaks but in the evil world #i need to sound like a fucked up villain character

there’s a progression in there, somewhere, of even going from ‘the master might kill me any day now :(‘ to ‘the master is going to kill me :) she’s not going to let someone else do it after all this time’

#i wouldn’t call it hubris exactly. more like this pretty secure surity that that’s how they’re going to die. #and to them that makes sense. they chose this. they keep choosing it after the doctor offers them a way out. #because this is. they understand this. and they feel safe in the reprieve before their death. #how do you control death? choose who kills you. the last defense of a prey animal. #something something dark mirror to clara’s ‘i am owed’ speech for even is if this ever. doesn’t work out the way they thought it would. #clara tried to threaten the doctor so that he’d reverse death for her. even would turn on the master if she tried to spare them. #i am owed better. i am owed the death you promised… i am owed the knowledge that you don’t care enough to save me… you know. something like #that. #even is. kind of. meant to mirror the doctor’s companions at the time. they are a martha who can’t leave him. they are a donna who has to #remember and never speak about everything they know. they are clara if during deep breath clara reached back and truly didn’t expect. truly #hoped. that no one would take her hand. because if they can be certain it will happen they can know never to reach again. #jesus christ. go to therapy boy. you have so many trust issues. #but that’s why they’re Like That with the master because at the end of the day. who is easier to rely on? the guy who comes in to put out #fires but only sometimes. or the guy who. really really fucking likes starting fires. #better to get burned hoping someone is coming or get burned knowing that’s what would happen. and even. chooses the latter. #AND ALL OF THIS. for me to say thats why i cant actually let the master ever kill them. #i think she needs to do something worse to even. i think she needs to abandon them. #and that will either set them free to go have healthy normal relationships or. lets be honest much more likely. completely fucking break #them. which would be fun :) for me. #dw oc

the man who falls – secret origins (1989)

[ID: Two cropped comic pages of Bruce Wayne as a child after falling into a cave and being ambushed by a swarm of bats. There's multiple narration boxes over the pages:

Page One: a three panel sequence of Bruce being rescued by his father. In the first panel, Bruce is screaming with his eyes squeezed shut in fear. He has his fists clenched in front of him and is wearing a reddish pink turtleneck sweater. The narration says, ‘Again, he shrieked — not in terror, but in despair...’ In the second panel, Thomas Wayne is shown from behind in a low angle. He's wearing a red sweater similar to Bruce and is holding a flashlight as he jerks Bruce into him. Above them is bats surrounding them and the broken wood floors that Bruce fell through. The narration continues, ‘The arm curled around him, muffling his voice, and his cheek rubbed against the rough wool of his father's jacket... He squeezed his eyes shut, willing himself to be away from here—’. In the third panel, they're standing outside. The narration reads, ‘When he opened them, he was in the area behind the mansion, in the pale light of the autumn afternoon, and his father's words pounded at him—’. Thomas is kneeling down in front of Bruce in front of the hole he fell in. He's gripping the child's shoulders as he scolds him, “Idiot! I told you never, never to go off alone. Didn't I? Didn't I?” Martha Wayne is behind them with her hand on the side of her face as she looks at them with relief that Bruce is okay.

Page Two: Martha is defending Bruce as Bruce has his head down. Thomas is still squeezing Bruce's shoulders as Martha tells him, “Thomas, he's frightened.” Thomas replies, “He damn well ought to be. He could have been killed.” Martha replaces Thomas's spot in front of Bruce, kneeling to gently place a hand on his upper arm and using a handkerchief to wipe his forehead. Bruce is standing with his fist still clenched and grimacing as Thomas angrily says, “He's got to learn.” Bruce is shown in a low angle, looking up at his mother with wide eyes. The narration continues, ‘He listened to his father's boots crushing the dead grass, and when he could no longer hear them, he dared to ask:’ “Mommy, was I in hell?” Martha soothes, “No, baby, that was just some old cave. You're safe now,” as she hugs him. His cheek is pressed against hers and she has her eyes closed as Bruce still looks uncertain. END ID]

#once again pushing my 'thomas wayne was a piece of shit' propaganda #tied in with the panel of him hitting bruce #and then the alt timeline where they live and martha expresses concern that her eight year old has an obsession with criminology now #and stopped being talkative or wanting to see some train (his special interest) and thomas says good and that it was worth the scare #and ! being autistic. for me when im emotional all sound is so much louder and more overwhelming #the fact that he waited until he couldnt hear his father walking away before asking his mother if he was in hell.... #and being no older than 8 and still waiting. just tensed and taking the verbal lashing and them fighting before speaking up?? yeah. #also think it'll be interesting in the 'bruce is constantly seeing the best in people even shitty people that dont 'deserve' a second #chance or for someone to fully believe they can change. that you do bad things but aren't a bad person. that you can do good and not #be a good person. that its making a choice and that anyone can choose and decide to do better than they were yesterday' #sorta deal yknow? #just the conditioning of forgiveness for something theyre not sorry for and wanting to believe everyone is capable of being good #that traumatized 'mommy was i in hell' like god sorry brucie for the trauma but itll have a payoff in a decade or so trust me kid #also martha?? love her. hes the biggest mama's boy you cant change my mind. #bruce wayne #thomas wayne #martha wayne #baby brucie #crypt's panels #c: secret origins | the man who falls #bruce & martha #bruce's childhood

thinking again about jo and the master's relationship.... how jo visted the master in prison.... how by "frontier in space" they're literally trapped in a cell together bantering... how jo is absolutely the reason for the master's subsequent obsession with the doctor's companions and deep unacknowledged desire for a companion of their own...

#dw #the master #jo grant #ok to rb #i am thinking of missy's 'you're the puppy' #and her deliciously unhinged obsession with clara #and her begruding tolerance bordering on affection for bill #and i'm thinking of dhawan!master using his time as O to get to know the entire fam #and i'm thinking of simm!master's twisted obsession with martha jones #and his inexplicable absolutely ridiculous (derogatory) reference to rose tyler in lottl despite having NO WAY of knowing who she is #and how him choosing lucy is absolutely a manifestation of him wanting a companion #and i'm thinking of how ainley!master can't help but flirt with like. every companion he meets #and you could argue all of this is their jealousy over companions' relationship with the doctor #but i'd argue it just as much stems from delgado's relationship with jo that by the end was practically friendly and affectionate #ren speaks #sometimes i say things people like
